Only worked fine on one, which was an old computer. Other two the program still crashed and did other things, but did not kill the system. These are computers that can be easily fixed, so I had no problem using them. I have counted three people who have had installation problems and there are a few more that I know where I am who have bought it and rang back to the store asking for help. But I have also said that it will most likely work fine on others and the only thing they would have to worry about is the usual program bugs. My System that crashed was one that used to be able to run programs that other people had trouble running on their systems. Thats was until CDM7K. Lukily I backed up my critical work data. But this kind of thing I would expect from Microsoft, but Mindscape should stop using the masses for testers. I expected program bugs to remain in the program, not spread to affect my other programs and systems. I say good for you that it works fine, What about the rest of us who this program stuffed up. I will not be defending CM7K from people who want to attach it like I have done in the past with CM6K. This program is trash, and they seemed to have stuffed up the engine as well.
